Answer
You can find all you need about evolution here:

http://talkorigins.org/

When we die, we simply die - there is no reason or evidence to believe in souls. Who we are is a product of our memories and personality. Both are unquestionably a product of our physical brains. When we die, our brains die too - and thus both our memories and our personalities disappear. There is no more "us." There is no soul that continues.
